Answer:

The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.

Some nonliving things that is found in earths environment use an example of how you use each thing

Gnoma [55]

Rocks, rocks can be used for many things depending on which rock you are talking about some rocks are used for construction of cement mixtures. Granite and marble are used for counter tops and desks depending on what district you go to school in and how funded the schools are there. pumice is a rock found in waters around volcanoes and is used to smooth organic surfaces such as feet. miscellaneous rocks are also used to prevent erosion. non living things can also include carbon which is the bases of life itself. Carbon is an organic element which is used in the synthesis medicines such as aspirin and poisons such as dichloromethane which is not used to poison others but is toxic to humans, it is mainly used for different isolation of unknown substances. Depending on what R grouping is attached to the carbon can be the deciding factor of how it can be used and how it can react with the environment. Elements like helium can be used in gas chromatograms and put into balloons

How many grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate?

Korvikt [17]

Answer: There is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.

Explanation:

Chemical equation depicting reaction between sodium phosphate and aluminum carbonate is as follows.

$Al_{2}(CO_{3})_{3} + 2Na_{3}PO_{4} \rightarrow 2AlPO_{4} + 3Na_{2}CO_{3}$

As this equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is a balanced equation.

According to the equation, 2 moles of sodium phosphate is giving 3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, sodium carbonate formed by 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate is as follows.

$\frac{3}{2} \times 5.3 mol\\= 7.95 mol$

As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of sodium carbonate ( molar mass = 105.98 g/mol) is as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7.95 mol = \frac{mass}{105.98 g/mol}\\mass = 842.54 g$

Thus, we can conclude that there is 842.54 grams of sodium carbonate are produced when 5.3 moles of sodium phosphate reacts with aluminum carbonate.
